I Saw a Salmon Life!
Our volunteers come with a variety of skill! Wayne is an artist. Scott, another volunteer, provided Wayne with this old saw. As you look at the painting on the saw you can follow the salmon life cycle. We look forward to the day when we can let you in to see this piece of art in person

Salmon in the Classroom Coho release
We would usually be having our local school groups releasing their young Coho salmon with all their students who were involved in raising Tynehead Hatchery Coho eggs to the fry stage. Thanks to the help of our volunteers, teachers are bringing their salmon babies to be released back into the Serpentine River. A BIG thank you to all the students and their teachers who have done a wonderful job in raising these salmon. We miss the students but look forward to seeing all next year!

Coho Alevins
Our Coho babies have almost all hatched to the Alevin stage. Those are yolk sacs on their tummies-food for the next month. As this yolk sac gets absorbed, they will slowly turn into a fry salmon. At this point these babes would still be in their “redd” in the river

Coho Smolts head out to the ocean
50,000 Coho smolts. Returned to the Serpentine River. Smolts are just over a year old and will head directly to the ocean.

Usually we disperse these babies throughout the Serpentine rivershed and only a portion are released at the Tynehead hatchery- primarily at our annual salmon send off. Unfortunately, COVID changed that this year. So see how many you can count in this footage!

Invasive Species fish!
This small carp was found in one of our fish ponds which means that it found its way into the Serpentine River by being released into the river. Please remind all you know not to be releasing any type of fish into urban rivers. Invasive species multiply and take over the natural inhabitants. We all want to keep our Salmon.
